Software Engineering Universities in Pakistan

Introduction

According to a definition from the IEEE Computer Society, “Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of software, and the study of these approaches; that is, the application of engineering to software.” Software development, a much more used and generic term, does not quantify the entire Software Engineering regime.

Software engineering, although directed towards a unique definition of tasks, is a very broad field to say the least. The present world of computing uses software development and integration in almost every walk of life. Hardware capability of a computer system is limited to use by the extent of the quality of the software being run on it. A heavy inefficient software demands much more computing strength than required for running the task. With ever increasing computing power, software technology has opened new avenues in the fields of computer aided simulation. Real time data acquisition methods help formulate a problem on a computer with almost real-life like results.

Software engineering is often mixed with Computer Engineering. Although not mutually independent, the two fields possess very different purposes and require entirely different skillsets to operate. Speaking in context of an automobile, Computer Engineering manufactures the engine while Software Engineering plays the role of the driver who runs the car.

Job Scope for Software Engineering

In Pakistan, Software Engineering met its peak demand around the start of the last decade. Although, the scope of software engineering has alleviated over the past few years in Pakistan, it experiences a continuous increase in demand all over the world. According to a US technical magazine, Software Engineering is the fastest growing job in the world and is likely to become the most paid job near 2020. Companies of the magnitude of Google, Yahoo, Dell, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft all are made from Software Engineers at their core.

Software Engineering is in high demand in the private sector in Pakistan. Low economy firms employ a high number of software engineers to carry out basic data handling jobs. New websites in Pakistan has also created new job opportunities for software engineers. The continuous expansion in the IT sector of Pakistan will surely saturate the engineering industry with Software Engineers. Although not at the first priority of many students, software engineering is one of the most promising fields to start your career.

Main Subjects in Software Engineering

Software Engineering usually overlaps with computer engineering for several of its undergraduate courses. It includes the following major subjects.

can you tell me that is there any scope of software engineering from NEDUET..i’m interested in taking it…plz help me..some says that only FAST holds a scope in this field..others are usually low including ned??? is it true

Raza

Karachi University or Fast. Ned introduce Software Engineering in 2010. I never see the NED Product in Market Yet.

Ali Shah Meghani

Fast is best University For Software Engineering.. If you want to apply in other field of Eingineering so you will look forward for Ned and Nust.. But for Sotfware FAST is best.. Em also doing Software Engineering from Fast University.. Good Educational System and best University In my ranking …

Lucky Alex

can I apply software eengineering with matrix base

MAREYA KOUSA

i also wanna do sftwr engg plz do tl me abt FAST adm is opn or ciloseD

MarEya KouSa

I ALSO WANNA Do sftwr engg.. yEt i didn gt adm.. plz do inform me about FAST adm opn or closed..
